Reliance : the non debt company

India’s topmost leading company now become the debt free one in 2020. Mukesh Ambani stated with his heart full of happiness that he fulfilled his promise RIL shareholders by making Reliance net debt free before their original schedule of March 2021. Now Reliance industries become the India’s first company to hit 11 lake core market value.

Mukesh Ambani to become the 9th richest in the world that he overtakes Larry page – American computer scientist CEO of Alphabet Inc. Presently Mukesh Ambani value is 64.6 dollars. As per the data on April 10, 2020 mukesh Ambani is the richest businessman in India of networth 44.4 B. His net debt of 1.61 lakh crore and raised 1.75 lakh crore. Reliance industries will lift jio platforms and Reliance retail in 5 years.

The reliance group said that both are also unprecedented in the country’s corporate history, and that it is “even more remarkable that this was achieved amidst a global lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic”. 

GOLDEN DECADE

“Therefore, on the proud occasion of becoming a net debt-free company, I wish to assure them that Reliance in its Golden Decade will set even more ambitious growth goals, and achieve them, in fulfilment of the vision of our Founder, Dhirubhai Ambani, to consistently increase our contribution to India’s prosperity and inclusive development,” Mukesh Ambani said.

Reliance Industries sold a total 24.70 per cent stake in Jio Platforms in 11 deals for Rs 1,15,693.95 crore within nine weeks starting April 22. Facebook committed the biggest capital infusion of Rs 43,573.62 crore for a 9.99 per cent stake in Jio Platforms, which houses Reliance Industries’ telecoms arm Reliance Jio Infocomm. The internet major was followed by US-based private equity firms Vista and KKR, and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, each of which took a 2.32 per cent stake in Jio Platforms for Rs 11,367 crore.

“She”-The untold story of every xx chromosome

She…


They all started their journey together,
Fate goverened their lives with good and bad
She celebtated life while others enjoyed it,
She cherished every moment while others criticized,
She faced obstacles,while others feared,
She accepted life,while others complained,
She struggled while others asked for help,
She fought against odds,while others left,
She own the battle,while others watched

,she celebrated her experience,while others celebrated her victory,
She shared her views while others gathered them,

She stood up while others saw,
She spoke,while others listened,
She lead,while others followed,
She became an example while others became a story teller:
On the stage of life all preformed as mere actors but she reflected herself as the true epitome of life….

The saga of every xx chromosome in this world.. “Think, Believe, Achieve”

For george floYd

How is it I trigger your vision so much

That you become a thunderstorm 

And press against my chest until I can’t breathe.

I dismantle into the soil 

and you rain upon me 

suffocating my pores.

I am not fierce but 

I resent with the subtle smell of petrichor.

Why is it you want me to dilute my skin

and pour myself into your white ceramic cups

when my earthen pots are just decorated enough.

How is it I am not a ‘ray’ of hope

But a tunnel of darkness.

I am the metaphors that rest upon your tongue

I want to be more— more than your diction

I want to be a human. 

Why is it you want me to become you

And forget everything we’ve been through.

I am the prequel, the story and the sequel

I was exhaled by the cosmos, 

I refuse to be altered by an inch.

Child LABour

Children are always compared to flowers and butterflies because of their common virtues like innocence, freshness, and tension-free lifestyle. They are the future pillars of the Nation. However, across the world, millions of children are forced to do extremely hazardous work in harmful conditions. Child labor is the employment of children as wage earners. We should take the necessary steps to eradicate the evil. The International Labour Organization estimated that there were 218 million working children aged between 5 and 17 in 2016. Asia alone had 61% of child laborers. Most children work because their families are poor and the amount earned by them is necessary for survival. Compared to adults, they are cheaper to hire and are less likely to demand higher wages or better working conditions. Illiteracy is also a major cause of child labor problems.

Children are put into the mechanical way of life. Many of them in hazardous jobs are in danger of injury. They are affected physically as well as mentally because of their full-time work at a very early age, excessive working hours, and no access to education. They fail to enjoy the real happiness of nature. As the child laborers are away from the care of the parents, they long for love and affection. Instead of carrying school bags and playing with toys, they are forced to pick sacks and collect wastes. Child labour can be eliminated, by improving school facilities, improving the literary rate, and strengthening the legal system of the country. In all the civilized societies all over the world, ‘child labour’ is condemned as a social evil. Several social service organizations also join hands with the government to take steps to eradicate child labour. The public also helps in reducing child labour by supporting organizations that are creating awareness and providing direct help to individual children.

What is composting and how it helps the environment?

Learn About Composting Liquids – Is Adding Liquids To Compost Bins ...
A compost bin

Composting is a treatment process that facilitates the decomposition of organic matter in an oxygenated environment and creates a nutrient-rich fertilizer or soil amendment. Food scraps, landscape trimmings, wood products and animal byproducts, packaging and other discarded material can be composted. Bio-waste from food instead of dumping in a landfilled is turned in to compost and forms a resource for organic soil improvers, fertilizers, and bio-based products. The carbon and nutrient contents of bio-waste are mainly concentrated in organic fertilizers. By bringing these nutrients back to the soil, rather than letting organic waste rot away in landfills composting can feed diverse life in the soil. The bacteria, fungi, insects and worms in compost support better soil health and plant growth, ultimately boosting its resilience to cope with harsh drought conditions. These nutrients and can also be extracted, modified or transformed into a range of different bio-based products, too. All these secondary products can replace fossil-based products such as mineral fertilisers, peat and fossil fuels. After use, the residues of these products can flow back safely into the biosphere, thereby closing carbon and nutrient cycles.

Furthermore, compost has the ability to help regenerate poor soils. The composting process encourages the production of beneficial micro-organisms (mainly bacteria and fungi) which in turn break down organic matter to create humus. Humus–a rich nutrient-filled material–increases the nutrient content in soils and helps soils retain moisture. Compost has also been shown to suppress plant diseases and pests, reduce or eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers, and promote higher yields of agricultural crops.

Composting organic materials that have been diverted from landfills ultimately avoids the production of methane and leachate formulation in the landfills. Compost has the ability to prevent pollutants in stormwater runoff from reaching surface water resources. Compost has also been shown to prevent erosion and silting on embankments parallel to creeks, lakes, and rivers, and prevents erosion and turf loss on roadsides, hillsides, playing fields, and golf courses.

The benefits of improving organic collection for composting are potentially far reaching. Direct benefits include an improved urban environment for human health, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and reduced costs for municipalities and households. Indirect benefits can include improved soils in peri-urban areas through cycling of organic fertilisers, more feedstock for the local bioeconomy, and clean renewable energy for electricity, district heating, and even transport systems.

Astronomers discover a remarkable Newborn Star

Newborn Neutron Star Swift J1818.0-1607.

NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift observatory spotted a young object when it released a massive burst of X-rays.

This object is a baby neutron star known as Swift J1818.0-1607.

A new study in the journal Astrophysical Journal Letters estimates that it is only about 240 years old – a veritable newborn by cosmic standards.

When a massive star becomes supernova then it explodes and then a neutron star is born. After Blackhole, Neutron star is the second densest object in the universe. Neutron stars are so dense that a teaspoon of it would weigh 4 billion tons on Earth.

The mass of this newly discovered baby neutron names as Swift J1818.0-1607 is twice the mass of our sun and volume one trillion times smaller.

Swift J1818.0-1607 belongs to a special class of objects called magnetars because it exists with a magnetic field up to 1,000 times stronger than a typical neutron star and about 100 million times stronger than the most powerful magnets made by humans.

Saturn’s Moon Titan is drifting away hundred times faster than previously thought-NASA

“This object is showing us an earlier time in a magnetar’s life than we’ve ever seen before, very shortly after its formation,” said Nanda Rea, a researcher at the Institute of Space Sciences in Barcelona and principal investigator on the observation campaigns by XMM Newton and NuSTAR (short for Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array).

Swift J1818.0-1607 is only about 16,000 light-years away from us located in the constellation Sagittarius.

As light takes time to travel these cosmic distances, we are seeing the light that the neutron star emitted about 16,000 years ago, when it was about 240 years old.

Among 3000 known neutron stars, scientists have identified just 31 confirmed magnetars – including this newest entry. Because their physical properties can’t be re-created on Earth, neutron stars (including magnetars) are natural laboratories for testing our understanding of the physical world.

“Maybe if we understand the formation story of these objects, we’ll understand why there is such a huge difference between the number of magnetars we’ve found and the total number of known neutron stars,” Rea said.

Many scientific models suggest that the physical properties and behaviors of magnetars change as they age and that magnetars may be most active when they are younger. So finding a younger sample close by like this will help refine those models.

Though neutron stars are only about 10 to 20 miles (15 to 30 kilometers) wide, they can emit huge bursts of light on par with those of much larger objects.

Magnetars in particular have been linked to powerful eruptions bright enough to be seen clear across the universe. Considering the extreme physical characteristics of magnetars, scientists think there are multiple ways that they can generate such huge amounts of energy.

Swift J1818.0-1607 was spotted when it began outbursting, its X-ray emission becomes 10 times brighter than normal.

Despite X-rays, magnetars also emit the highest-energy form of light Gamma rays to the lowest energy form radio waves.

“What’s amazing about [magnetars] is they’re quite diverse as a population,” said Victoria Kaspi, director of the McGill Space Institute at McGill University in Montreal and a former member of the NuSTAR team, who was not involved with the study. “Each time you find one it’s telling you a different story. They’re very strange and very rare, and I don’t think we’ve seen the full range of possibilities.”
The new study was led by Paolo Esposito with the School for Advanced Studies (IUSS) in Pavia, Italy.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty was suspected for this reason, interrogated for 9 hours by the police, here’s everything she was asked

Sushant Singh Rajput’s death has deeply impacted all the fans and followers and the entire nation mourned his untimely demise. Social media has been taken by storm after it was discovered that he was suffering from clinical depression. Also, people are slamming Bollywood to contribute to his suicide. The whole “nepotism” debate is back on table and the ‘blame-game’ is on. But amidst all this, police are interrogating the ‘professional rivalry’ angle.

Recently, rumoured girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty was summoned for 9 hours by police as she was living with Sushant at his rented Bandra penthouse. She was accompanied by her father.
A source revealed some important inside information from this interrogation session with Rhea to Pinkvilla. The source said, “In the last few months, the person who was the closest to Sushant was Rhea and they were together almost all the time. Police decided to call her first today.”

Rhea and Sushant had grown close towards each other in this lockdown, but days before the actor took this drastic step, Rhea moved out from the house with her bags which indicated their breakup following some problems in the relationship. The source by Pinkvilla suggested, “Rhea was asked to show all the text messages exchanged between the two. Her entire phone was scanned, including all their pictures and videos together. Rhea spoke about living in with Sushant and also revealed that they were planning to buy a property as well, as revealed by their broker previously. She admitted that they did plan to get married by the end of 2020.”

Before Sushant decided to end his life, he called Rhea a night before but she didn’t pick the calls. He also called his Pavitra Rishta co-star Mahesh Shetty, who also didn’t pick the call. The call records suggested, “Rhea happens to be the last person Sushant dialed before going to sleep. The actor called Mahesh Shetty first who didn’t answer and then called Rhea who also didn’t pick up the call. He went to sleep, woke up and saw Mahesh had returned the call. He called him back but it didn’t get connected.”

In the last few months, Sushant was diagnosed with clinical depression and Rhea was the only one to be with him. According to the same report, “Police asked her about his behavioural changes that she noticed. She not only spoke about it but apparently showed proof that proved how he was undergoing treatment for clinical depression. Sushant had turned towards meditation and yoga to maintain his well-being. She also told police that there would be days when he would feel extremely low and upset. She also shared that he would refuse to take his medication and she tried to coax him to take them but to no avail.”

There were some reports doing rounds that before Sushant’s demise, Mahesh Bhatt asked Rhea to vacate the house and leave Sushant when she told him that Sushant was behaving weird as he was talking to himself and hearing voices. But it’s unknown if this particular point was addressed in the interrogation.
Although Rhea was accompanied by her father to the police station, her father was not allowed to be in the interrogation session with Rhea. The same report suggested, “The police questioned her about everything and her father wasn’t allowed to be present while she was being interrogated.”

Police are now analysing Rhea’s statement and their investigation is still going on and they are planning to make some more calls to those people who were close to Sushant.

Public Relation (PR)

It is a two-way communication process between the organization and its public. It helps by changing the mindsets of the people by communicating with them. Its main aim to establish two way flow of mutual understanding based on truth, knowledge and full information. Public Relation combines the psychological and logical methods but sometimes it requires standardized terms to express or to accept one, without doing any violence to truth. A good public relation helps in larger profits. Publics includes customers, stakeholders, local authorities, local communities, employees, media, suppliers, opinion makers, special interests groups, etc.

All most every form of printed and spoken world and of photography is used in public relation work following are routine public relation responsibilities issuing news releases to newspaper, radio station, trade generals and magazines. The public relation department may prepare a magazine for a distribution to listed customers and some corporation issues special magazines for their stockholders. Public relation directors of trade organizations tell them the history of organization or industry.
Some organization employee not only a public relation director with a staff under his supervision but also a public relation consultant to provide a outside point of view on question of policy.

Nature of Public Relation:

  1. Public Relation deals with the activities connected with improving and assessing the relationship of an organization or an individual with the public.
  2. Public Relation in today business represents an organized activity with due recognition of the ultimate authority of the public opinion.
  3. Public Relation department are the establishment of and maintenance of goodwill. The more an organization does to merit this goodwill the easier the task of public relation officer will be.
  4. Public Relation officer also maintained the relation internally which includes the organization employees.

Objectives:

  1. To carry out the range of communication tasks involving the analysis, synthesis of written material dealing with actual communication problems, using the basic principles and ideas.
  2. To utilize public Relation principles and techniques in a practical way that will help solve particular communication problems.
  3. To assist in practical application of the basic concepts and principles, through creative use of ordinary channels and media of communication.
  4. It serves a wide variety of institution in society, such as business, trade unions, government agencies, voluntary association, foundation, hospitals and educational and religious institutions.
  5. To achieve their goals, these institutions must develop, effective relationship with many different communities, stakeholders, other institution and with society at large.
  6. The public relation practitioner acts as a counceller to management as a mediator, helping to translate private aims in to reasonable publicity, acceptable policies and actions.

However, a good public relation professional needs following points:

  1. It is hard to listen, easy to talk.
  2. Hard to agree, easy to find faults.
  3. Hard to steadfast, easy to be stubborn.
  4. Hard to speak up, when keeping quiet is difficult but right.
  5. Public Relation professional should know all information about the organization.
  6. They should know the consequences or the result.
  7. They should know the proper procedure of maintain a good relation between the company and its public.

The Bangle Sellers- The Indian Journey!

Bangle sellers are we who bear
Our shining loads to the temple fair…
Who will buy these delicate, bright
Rainbow-tinted circles of light?
Lustrous tokens of radiant lives,
For happy daughters and happy wives.

Some are meet for a maiden’s wrist,
Silver and blue as the mountain mist,
Some are flushed like the buds that dream
On the tranquil brow of a woodland stream,
Some are aglow with the bloom that cleaves
To the limpid glory of newborn leaves

Some are like fields of sunlit corn,
Meet for a bride on her bridal morn,
Some, like the flame of her marriage fire,
Or, rich with the hue of her heart’s desire,
Tinkling, luminous, tender, and clear,
Like her bridal laughter and bridal tear.

Some are purple and gold flecked grey
For she who has journeyed through life midway,
Whose hands have cherished, whose love has blest,
And cradled fair sons on her faithful breast,
And serves her household in fruitful pride,
And worships the gods at her husband’s side.

The Bangle sellers has been written by the Indian poet Sarojini Naidu. The poem delves into the different stages in the life of an Indian woman, the culture and traditions.

The central point of concern in this poem is bangles and the poet showcases the growth and different stages of the Indian woman’s life through the different bangles. The Bangle sellers selling the different tinted bangles to the temple fair are just a medium through which Naidu communicates and reveals the growth of a young girl to a mature woman nursing a child.

The Bangle is a jewel that reflects the Indian culture and the repetition of the word happy in the first stanza shows that bangles are associated with joyful occasions when girls and women dress up and participate in celebrations like marriage, festivals etc.

The bangles are called delicate in the first stanza which is reflective of the girl in her younger years. The bangles are said to be blooming and flushing in the second stanza which reflects the young girl growing up into a maiden. The bangles are described to be bright and fiery and rich like the heart’s desire reflective of the married Indian woman. The words “grey”, “journeyed”, “cherished” shows the woman has journeyed her life halfway.

The bridal laughter and bridal tear is the transition from the young maidenhood to marriage when the woman has to leave her house to stay with her husband in the Indian setting. The cradling of fair sons is problematic in the current context. It brings out the evil of male preference and the killing of the girl child. Had Naidu replaced the word sons with “children” the poem would have been more visionary and in touch with the postmodern setting. However, her apt use of sons paints the true contemporary picture of the Indian society where everyone preferred sons to daughters.

The word happy wives is debate worthy. Naidu uses the word happy in general to describe the joy that comes with ornaments however a closer reading tells us that wives are expected to be happy and it doesn’t seem to give them a choice. To dwell on a sarcastic idiom it seems that happiness as an abstract is thrust upon them instead of it being exuded independently by the married woman. The traditional Indian setting didn’t allow married women to fully exercise their independence and was often suppressed by the in-laws to abide by the household customs irrespective of the wife’s opinion. The wife was moulded into the in-laws’ customs and this often led them to be unhappy but they were neither given the independence to revolt nor express sorrow.

River ganga – the goddess of India

Emerging from the pure hairs of the lord Shiva, the river Ganga, is considered the holiest and the purest of all, which is said to heal up all the pains and grievings of those who worship it with a pure heart. Despite being worshipped for centuries, its condition is has been worsened over the past few years. Continuous growth of the human civilization and performing the rituals at the same time has become a bane for the river that is worshipped with love and respect.Originating from the lap of Himalayas, it has made its way through most of the states in India. Right from Gangotri, to West Bengal it sheds its water and provides livelihood to million and thousands of humans as well as animals.

Ganga – the holy river

The Ganges, it is the sacred river to Hindus along every fragment of its length. Every year millions of people come and pay homage to the holy river and bring back with them the pure water of this river, along with performing lots and lots of rituals, such as paying homage to their ancestors, offering flowers. And its historic significance is worth noting that makes it the most beautiful and sacred rivers in the history of Indian culture.

The story begins with a sage, Kapila, whose intense meditation has been disturbed by the sixty thousand sons of King Sagara. Livid at being disturbed, Kapila sears them with his angry gaze, reduces them to ashes, and dispatches them to the netherworld. Only water of Ganges, then in heaven, can bring the dead sons their salvation. A descendant of these sons, king, Bhagirath, anxious to restore his ancestors, undertakes rigorous penance and is eventually granted the prize of Ganges’s descent from heaven. However, her turbulent force could also have shattered the earth, Bhagirath persuades Shiva in his abode on Mount Kailash to receive Ganges in the coils of his tangled hair & break her fall. Ganges descends, and arrives in the Himalayas.

It’s history and religious significance is far from what we hear and believe today. The river that has been given the status of “mother”, it has been seen from time to time in different contexts and religious books. Yet, one or the other story is left behind which seems to be there in Puranas and books.

Ganga – geology and humans

Made with the confluence of Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers, the length of the river is frequently said to be slightly over 2,600 km long. The discharge of of the Ganges also differs by source, and it has changed its course a different periods of time.Human development, mostly agriculture, has replaced nearly all of the original natural vegetation of the Ganges basin. More than 95% of the upper Gangetic Plain has been degraded. The river suffers from severe pollution, caused due to dwelling of millions of people close to the river, industrial waste, sewerage disposal and mining, etc.

World Bank estimates that the health costs of water pollution in India equals 3% of India’s GDP.

Adding a huge amount of pollution to the river the cities of Varanasi, Kolkata, Patna, Kanpur produces the most waste that eventually results in conditions such as –

  • Shortage of water for basic requisites
  • Killing of large and rare fauna species
  • Degradation of quality of water
  • High risk of water borne diseases

Economy, environment and mission –

The river Ganga is not only a river, but attracts a large number of tourists every year because of its long history and religious beliefs associated with it. The Kumbh Mela, is one such example that attracts millions of “Bhakts” and tourists from every corner of the world. Adding to the country’s economy and providing a fair amount of money in terms of tourism. But, it is an unfortunate circumstances for the country that the holiest river is constantly loosing its beauty and religious belief due to increased risk of pollution and water degradation. Due to which the government is constrained to take stricter actions.Several projects, such as Namami Gange programme, NMCG (National Mission for Clean Ganga), Rejuvenation Protection and Management. The government has also made tireless efforts to maintain a ministry for Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation. A total budgetary outlay of Rs. 20,000 crores for 5 years period till dec. 2020 has been provided to accomplish the twin objective of effective abatement of pollution, conservation and rejuvenation of National River Ganga.It’s never too late to start off with a good deed and protect our national wealth, and its the right time to prevent our sacred river Ganga from getting degraded and providing it a new life, so that not only us, humans could be benefited, but can provide a home to rare and endangered species of flora and fauna. Be it government, or the common country man, the joint effort of both can bring unbelievable results and preserve its historicity, economy as well as the geology of the country.
